Chlorpyrifos, mercury, phosmet, malathion, lead, arsenic. You wouldn't expect these toxic chemicals to be found in your favorite produce like strawberries, apples, and spinach. However, if you're shopping for "conventionally grown" produce, you might be surprised to learn that the two often go hand in hand.
Grocery stores are rife with produce grown using synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides that are harmful to both the environment and your family's health. Big farms and ranches rely on the heavy use of antibiotics, which has led to the creation of many antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Many processed foods contain genetically modified organisms (GMOs) that allow farmers to use even harsher chemicals on their crops, damaging surrounding fields and local wildlife.
The easiest way to limit your exposure to pesticides and antibiotic-packed meat? Shop organic.
Organic producers strive to positively impact the environment while bringing healthy, sustainable food to your table. They won't use GMOs—even in animal feed—or harsh pesticides. Animals are raised without antibiotics and added growth hormones in a way that conserves natural resources and local biodiversity.
